“In fact, we wish we had discovered Your Brain Academy much sooner as it would have spared us a lot of concern and worry and quite probably boosted our son’s kindy/school performance to where it was expected to be.” Jamie & Felicia, Puchong.
A child with strong learning ability will perform better in school with minimal guidance. Over the past 35 years, the world-renowned LearningRx’s one-on-one training has helped more than 100,000 individuals the world over to improve their cognitive skills and abilities. The training is aimed at making them smarter, think faster and remember better, among others. Now, imagine having your children being properly trained on how to make use of these cognitive skills!
The Academy
Located in the bustling commercial centre of Bandar Puteri Puchong, Your Brain Academy is definitely one of a kind. Their forte perhaps lies in its holistic sets of internationally acclaimed cognitive training programs whose robust methodology is further supported by science and research with a proven track record of success.
Whilst most, if not all learning centres these days hastens to compel kids to complete more homework or more worksheets with hopes of scoring good marks in schools, Your Brain Academy looks at it differently and introduces the long overdue, if not the most neglected aspect of childhood education; Cognitive Skill Development or Brain Training.
Cognitive skills are the core skills your brain uses to think, read, learn, remember, reason and pay attention. Working together, they take incoming information and move it into the bank of knowledge you use daily, such as in school, work and etc. Hence, if one of these skills is weak, it will thus affect the overall brain performances whereby the understanding and retaining the incoming information is impacted.
How It Started
1)One Paediatrician who want to make positive changes in every child.
Your Brain Academy is the brainchild of one paediatrician, Dr Eddie Chan, who had once envisaged setting up a brain training institute equipped with all the qualified specialists it needed to help kids excel academically. A paediatrician himself, through years of practice, Dr Chan has met and interacted with countless children and teenagers of varying background and personalities; those who are bright, A+ students and that of low-performing students who constantly failed their classes. Dr Chan soon learned that low-performing children cannot simply be helped by giving them more homework or more rigid tests and ask them to attend more tuition classes. “The problem isn’t the academic subject itself, but at how these students were made to use their cognitive skills or learning abilities when learning them.” Explained Dr Chan.
2)Modules developed by Dr. Ken Gibson
Most parents, having no knowledge of what learning abilities or cognitive skills actually entail proceeded to continue to force their low-performing children to stay in that vicious cycle of an endless series of tuition classes and homework. With that in mind, Dr Chan passionately continued to seek a workable solution. He travelled to the US a few times. Learned from brain training experts including Glenn Doman and Janet Doman and soon discovered the answer to the problem he had meant to solve. Dr Chan next researched into the field of brain training where he afterwards adopted a cognitive skills brain training program that’s based on proper research that integrates the best knowledge of neuroscience with a proven track record of success.
The LearningRx training method is developed by Dr Ken Gibson in the US. Following that, Dr Chan proceeded to found Your Brain Academy; a brain training centre specialising in one-on-one brain training in Puchong, Malaysia. Your Brain Academy has since recruited a team consisting of qualified cognitive skills brain training professionals with a background of Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Physiotherapy and Childhood Education dedicated to helping people of all ages to improve their learning abilities to a higher level.
Stages of Process
The training is carefully structured based on 35 years long of proper neuroscience research. The improvement is believed to be long-lasting. To ensure the best possible results are achieved, your children are required to undergo these stages of entrance process.
1)Cognitive Skill Assessment
Approximate an hour of accurate and proper cognitive skill assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses which also serves as a guideline for further improvements in cognitive skills.
2)Consultation
You will be arranged for a consultation on another day for a further discussion about your child’s result of the said assessment. For many families, the consultation provides that “Aha!” moment when everything suddenly makes sense. This is because you will see exactly how your unique cognitive skill strengths and weaknesses are behind many of the successes – and struggles – you have been experiencing. Parents are highly encouraged to attend.
3)Entrance Assessment
Based on conditions, a one-time 20-30 minutes training will be performed in an effort to accurately determine your child eligibility to enrol in the program and to see which program is most suitable for your child.
4)One on One Training
Every child is uniquely different in terms of their abilities. Based on the report from the assessment, the 1-on-1 Training will thus be conducted by their qualified cognitive training professionals to improve what has been identified as weak cognitive skills.
